A lot depends on spectrum. If you use a cool white compact fluorescent or blue leaning florescent bulbs. Anything more blue will keep them shorter. I do mine under a 3k and they stretch pretty well even when I managed to light burn 3 of them. Look at the front 2 on the left and far right front I cooked 3 of em and they stunted for over a week.keep the light closer next time, after they sprout up and the leaves begin opening
and yeah you can bury them when transplanting i just prefer just not to have this problem cause im not sloppy and its easy to avoid it.
Looks like off to a decent start ....
in my case I have been using seeds that are .... 39 years old ...yep these are seeds i saved froma trip to hawaii in 1981... i had doubts if they would germinate but here are some pics .... these are seeds from before any genetic messing around lol .... these will be out door plants...
Shit that has just blown my mind. Please keep us posted.Looks like off to a decent start ....

I'm using the Alien aeroponics and rockwool.you know you can take them out oft here right about now right?
You growing in soil or water?
Have you seen anymore of those visitors in your setup? Hopefully it’s not a fungus gnat.DAY 17
10 seeds in and 1 dead, my fault... was measuring the distance from my light and the tape measure dropped hit a seed and bent it. It happened a few days ago and I wanted to see if I could get away with it... I didn't. Another lesson learnt the hard way.
I decided to take the big streched fella out of the clay pebbles and transplant to a larger rockwool cube (this will be its final place). Reason I moved it? I just couldn't gauge if the small rockwool plug was wet / dry because the clay pebbles covered it and it was always going to need moving at some point.
When I transplanted from clay pebbles to larger rockwool I had to pick each individual pebble out and came across some slightly dry roots which I wet before I moved so I didn't accidentally break. I then placed the plug in the already soaked cube and updated the support with a skewer.
The 3 seeds that haven't "popped" yet... I looked at each individually and carefully replaced into new starter plugs. Hopefully we see them grow because the other 6 have (despite my best fuck ups).
Also, had a visit in the grow, anybody know what it is please?

No none, fingers crossedHave you se

Once I see a plant get its second set of serrated leaves in and roughly as long as the first, i figure I can transplant.I'm using the Alien aeroponics and rockwool.
You think I should transplant them into larger cubes and put them in the system?
Bud
Thanks for that @MilsonOnce I see a plant get its second set of serrated leaves in and roughly as long as the first, i figure I can transplant.
And now he fun beginsSince I added a small amount of nutrients to the RO water and gradually turning the light up I've noticed a huge spike in growth.
Tomorrow they come off the heat pad and into the areoponic system.
Thanks for every bodies advice so far, tomorrow I start the next stage.
As for the three seeds that didn't crack, any thoughts?
